Newport Beach

Newport Beach is like a French Impressionistic painting--it's a magical place with views so stunning, they hardly seem real. Like the Rock of Gibraltar or the French Riviera, cars line up on weekends filled with visitors seeking opportunities to share the dream on a five mile stretch of land referred to locally as the Newport or Balboa Peninsula. Intimate sand beaches, a jetty called "The Wedge" where surfers test their skills, two piers, the Fun Zone, Balboa Pavilion, Newport-Balboa Ferry boat, harbor cruises, boat rentals and trips to Catalina Island are but a few of the attractions for people of all ages.

Newport Beach is located 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 85 miles north of San Diego in Orange County. With nearly 22 square miles of ocean and bay, including several islands, the city offers the greatest variety and number of restaurants with water view dining in all of Orange County.

Summers bring outdoor jazz concerts to the center. Next door, the Hyatt Newporter plays host to an annual line up of jazz artists in summer concerts and also hosts several tennis tournaments. Several public golf courses include Newport Beach Golf Course, Hyatt Newporter Golf Course and Pelican Hills Golf Course, home to a televised tournament. An endless list of celebrities have wined, dined, lived and acted in Newport Beach, beginning first in the Silent Film era of the early 1900's. Historic Balboa Pavilion and the Newport Beach bay, the coves of Corona del Mar and every spot you can imagine have been used in film.

Newport Beach contains numerous communities or villages that include Balboa Island, Balboa Peninsula, Cannery Village, Corona del Mar, Fashion Island, Lido Marina Village, Mariners Mile and Upper Newport Bay.

Newport Beach contains seven islands and are some of the most expensive real estate in Southern California. Homes costing $2 million and up are surrounded by one of the world's largest small yacht harbors. Balboa Island is the largest. Lido Isle with Lido Marina Village, shops, art galleries, boutiques and boardwalk cafes plus Little Balboa Island, Linda Isle, Collins Island, Harbor Island and Bay Island make up the man-made harbors and lands that rank among the most expensive in Orange County.

San Clemente

San Clemente Real EstateSan Clemente, Dana Point's sister city to the south,  lies at the southern tip of Orange County with nothing but 20 miles of ocean, and natural preserves to the south. This unique small city offers the same wonderful climate as Dana Point, as well as a Spanish architectural theme originated by its founder, Ole Hansen, and kept alive today by the San Clemente Historical Society. Ole Hansen felt San Clemente was just the place for those who longed for a slower paced life. This slower pace of life lasted until 1969 when President Nixon brought national attention to San Clemente by purchasing a mansion in town known as the "Western White House".

Although San Clemente is now more of a balanced community, it's small town atmosphere has not changed. The focal point now is its main street, "Del Mar", which offers a large number of boutique shops and stores for most every need, along with a number of wonderful restaurants including some of the best Mexican cuisine on the planet, and one local favorite that is actually on the famous San Clemente pier.

This town also offers miles of white sandy beaches as well as a couple of world class surf breaks. This charming small community has a warm and wonderful feel to it, and is definitely a great place to live.

Nearly 40% of San Juan Capistrano consists of open space and park land while the remainder provides for a variety of recreation, housing, jobs, shopping and services.

Mission San Juan Capistrano, "The Jewel of the Missions", is the pride of the city as well as Orange County. It is one of California's most important historical, cultural and educational centers. Areas of interest within the mission include early adobe barracks, Friars quarters, an olive millstone, an aquaduct system, beautiful gardens and the original stone church.

The mission hosts a variety of events nearly every weekend and is also available for private functions, corporate events and guided tours.

The mission is also famous for the amazing swallows who leave each year on October 23rd, St. John's Day and return each year on March 19th, St. Joseph's Day. When the swallows return home, the city of San Juan Capistrano takes on a festive atmosphere while visitors from all over come to witness the miraculous event.
